The most anticipated event in my yard...the PEONIES are here!!!

The most anticipated time in my garden has arrived, the first of the peonies are in bloom! I have four beautiful peony bushes, and the bold pink ones are always the first because they grow in direct sunlight. The other three bushes are shaded for a good portion of the day and so they bloom a week or so later which is perfect because it means peony season in my yard lasts just a bit longer. I didn't know it until we moved in, but peonies really are my favorite flower.
